The whole envelope rumor started by Lincoln’s oldest son, Robert. And as for the “audience was uninterested, Lincoln thought he was a failure” that’s the half truth. Yes, Lincoln thought it was a failure, because he thought the audience didn’t like it. Truth was, the audience was so stunned (with awe, not repulsion) they had nothing to say. They were expecting a little thing by Lincoln, as he had been called to give a word at the last minute.
An American tourist group is visiting Runnymede. The British tour guide says “Here, King John signed the Magna Carta in 1215”. One man looks at his watch and says “Darn it, Maggie, we missed it by 20 minutes!”
